Who: Nova & u
Broadcast: Yep!
Action: First Breath
When: Early January

[ Nova pops up on your various devices. She's in the galley in the First Breath and she has a lot of paper-wrapped meat on camera. ]

I've been doing some hunting and I have various cuts if someone wants to trade for them. I don't think we have quite enough room to make a meat locker out of the First Breath. First come, first serve. I'll probably go out and try for more when some of this gets cleared out. This place has enough salt to preserve a planet.

[ for anyone looking to see her in person, she can be found in the kitchen, though probably in the midst of dealing with meat cuts ]

Is there anything I can help with?

[takeabow]

If you want. I think I have it.

Cleaning, maybe? Or if you now any good preserving recipes.

[truthvalue]

Salt's a good option for preserving, like you said. Or we could try brining or dehydrating, too. I'm also happy to cook something for you, if you'd like.

[takeabow]

Aren't you busy on your new ship?

[ she's a little sharp but ha ha mostly that's a joke ha ha ]

[truthvalue]

[Yeah, he notices that. :'c]

Not too busy for you.

We could always use a little extra.

Or -- I'm sure the Blue Fish would gladly take any extra off your hands.

[takeabow]

I can set some aside for you, if you want. I guess a holiday just went by, anyway.

[ino]

That's exactly why we could use a little extra. [ She laughs a little ] Everybody ate so much for Christmas and New Year's that we're running a little low now.

[takeabow]

I bet Souji was busy.

[ino]

Hey, I was cooking, too! I promised a couple people food as a present.

[sandhate]

What will you trade it for?

[takeabow]

I didn't have anything particular in mind. What do you have?

[sandhate]

Nothing I can part with, unless you count services then I can fix things if you ever need it.

I just wanted to see what people here want.

[takeabow]

I'm kind of new at this so I'm making it up.

[sandhate]

You can hunt and you know enough to ask to trade. You can't be that new.

Action

[bothbarrels]

[ North had actually contributed to the haul of meat they had on the ship, so he's been here on and off helping to pack up the meat and now, help load it for those who were arriving from the other ships to get their share. After a while he takes a break, settling in with a bottle of something to drink. ]

Is this the first fresh meat anyone's had access to in a while? It seems popular enough.

[takeabow]

Yeah, it's been a few months.

[ or A THOUSAND YEARS judging by the tone of her voice ]

[bothbarrels]

If there's another chance like this soon, then I'll make sure to contribute to getting more. Though maybe on the next planet there'll be gardens people can get produce at.

[takeabow]

That would be nice, though we're missing a cook.

[bothbarrels]

Ha, yeah. I was raised cooking for myself, but it's proving quite different using the food substitutes here. Last spaceship I was on had a mess crew, too.

[evildetector]

[ at some point, stiles will be in the kitchen with her, trying to assist in this whole 'meat preservation' thing. hey - it's way easier to handle when it doesn't straight up look like a recognizable animal anymore, okay. ]

Wonder if we could store some of it on that other ship floating with us. [ the iskaul-whatever. ]

[takeabow]

Maybe. I don't know. It seems like they could just take it, then.

[evildetector]

Yeah. Good point, I guess. Be kind of tough to rig a security system with all of the weird powers people have around here.

[takeabow]

Yeah. It'd just be nice if we could get a trade from it.

[evildetector]

What kind of things are you looking for? [ idly, like he's not fishing for ideas... ]
